Dinky the Train

Something new in Fennimore. It's "Dinky" the train-- four rail cars set up in a historical display right downtown. The train has a big title sign saying "Dinky!" It's rather amusing, and right across the street from a giant mouse and cheese statue.

[Michael Pizzuto, 05/09/1999]

The Dinky was a narrow-gage train that ran through town for almost 50 years, ending in 1926. The engine on display was built in 1907. Sept. 2013: Photo added.
